All the time. I get really attached to my characters and very strongly at that. It isn't odd for me to shed tears when something bad happen to my characters or if there's something sweet and beautiful happening in their virtual lives. I've become so used to feeling emotionally towards my characters that if the game lacks that I feel it's incomplete.

Just like good book or movie I expect games to move me. I don't mean that every game has to bring me on the brink of crying to be good, but it needs to have something I can emotionally attach to.

Thanks for writing my post for me, Vral

Another thanks to Vral.

All the time, if the game is a good it draws you into it, if it doen't then its a flop.

[Matchy Pointy]

I most certainly do, I'm a big emotinal softie really

[ADLegend21]

Kingdom hearts games get to me all the time. They're just so deep and you get attached to the characters.

[silver_sparrow]

The whole metal gear solid series has been one of the few games that really gets me emotionally invested.

I agree with this as well.
I never was a gamer until the past year or two.  I've always loved stories that I can get  myself invested in--the world, the characters, the story.  The difference with these games by BioWare is that you have choices in them, so I'm even more invested in the characters and the stories than if I watched a movie or read a book.

I was distraught with Virmire.
I hated losing Legion (stupid Zaeed ).
Horizon tears me up every time--having Kaidan (the best LI in a VG ever IMO) so hurt and so hurtful to my femSheps.  I need a good, happy resolution for my Shepards and their one true love, or the end of the story will just feel empty and incomplete. 
So yeah.  I'm invested in this series.

Hmm...well there was red dead redemption, the ending made me want to cry manly tears....

This ...all above!

I lost Mordin in one playthrough. It was terrible to see him die, but in the moment my Shepard stood at his coffin, I had tears in my eyes ...

Only torment has ever battered through the walls of my cynicism and pessimism to draw an emotional reaction, the devastation the nameless one left behind in his previous incarnations oddly enough left me with a feeling of guilt and a desire to make up for his deeds in the limited time he would spend on the planes.

Good writing for me beggars graphical whizz bangs any day of the week, words are such a powerful medium that we sometimes forget what we can craft with them and how deeply they can affect us.

In DA origins, the one and only time I made the ultimate sacrafice and died to kill the arch demon, I had romanced Leliana, and in the scripe at the end, I cried when I found out Leliana commited suicide over my death. Any really good game draws me in like that. Cant help it.

[Matchy Pointy]

Hell, I cried when your parents dies in the human noble origin, and you don't even really know them that much, and I'm still clsoe to tears whenever I do that scene in a "real" playthrough.

[Veex]

My first run through of the suicide mission in ME2 really drew me. I didn't try and meta game it all and felt awful watching Grunt get torn away by a seeker swarm. Of course all of this happened because I didn't know you couldn't send Zaeed back to the Normandy with the survivors, but I digress.

[Blastback]

Any Bioware game will generally get me very emotionally invested in the characters and story. That's why I love them so dang much.

Also got invested in the characters from Halo Reach. I was on the verge of tears a number of times.

[Jade5233]

In DA, Alistair wouldn't let my elf mage sacrifice herself and he killed the Archdemon (we didn't take Morrigan up on her dark promise). I cried through that scene.
Then I was quite confused when Anora was talking about Alistair in the present tense in the epilogue. Somehow he survived and I was happy

Same for me, tried all the options to see if there was a way to save the mother at least but Bioware would not allow this.

There's quite a few games that have tugged my heartstrings, BG2, Ocarina of Time, when you say your farewells to Sarya, from the top of my head.

But there's one special and maybe somewhat embarrassing case: Silent Hill 3. The whole story is just so full of anguish, and it didn't help that back when I played it I had a small crush on the main protagonist. When you finally get home at halfway through the game and get the plot twist, I just Wanted to jump through the tv screen and give the protagonist a big hug, and help her through the rest of the ordeal. Yes I'm silly

[that_one_guy02]

Oh yeah, KotOR, Jade Empire, ME1/2 and DA:O all got me emotional. I was on the verge of tears on my first playthrough of DA:O and my Dalish elf made the ultimate sacrifice.
+1 crusadeonacid for the mention of Uncharted. I would highly recommend anyone who has a PS3 to get them. Two of the best games ever in my opinion. Speaking of PS3, Heavy Rain is also fairly emotional if you let it.

What a funny thing, I was just sitting here thinking about just this.

Any game Bioware develops seems to get me emotionally involved, I really get attached to them. And I really appreciate the developers for making the best games around.

I'm so glad Bioware is around.

This was definitely one of those moments where I got all teary, and the outcomes without the dark ritual as well.

I get emotionally invested in games that draw me in storywise. A good tragic ending especially to a kickass game makes me get uber emotional (if anyone is around they think I'm nuts for getting emotional for a game)
